The number of kids’ activities that start prior to 8am these days is a crime against humanity. My kids have two totally separate activities that started before 8am this morning. My parents never had to suffer this. 😭

I take no position on the legal theory underlying the Trump indictment, except as follows: I suspect that no one raising the rule of lenity or constitutional protections against vagueness has ever tried getting a court to actually grant a defendant protection under such a theory.
@w7voa Could you please post a PDF of the indictment when you get it?

I frequently find myself wanting to write, "Perhaps the Court will find that it needs to rule for the government one way or another; but it certainly can't do so based on anything said in the answer brief."

As Tennessee, others target drag shows, many wonder: Why?

But if she really were a drag queen, one of Tennessee’s most famous daughters would likely be out of a job under legislation signed into law by Republican Gov.

@pbump Congrats!
I have (well controlled) Bipolar Disorder, and I think my insecurity about having a mental illness has given me a kind of reverse hypochondria. Whenever I get some symptoms, my first thought is that it’s psychosomatic/all in my head. I self-gaslight.
@RikerGoogling The canonical answer appears to be they didn’t for the same reason that they didn’t take other powerful friends on their journey: the eagles could have been corrupted by the ring. That may or may not be satisfying. But it appears that’s the answer Tolkienites give.
